This is definitely good news for Nollywood practitioners, stakeholders and the nation at large. Veteran actor, Enebeli Elebuwa, who has been down with stroke for some time is currently recuperating.
The thespian who could not walk for some time now, is getting better as he can now move his legs, NollywoodReel gathered. It was indeed a sigh of relief for Enebeli’s colleagues, who had been trooping to the hospital to visit and monitor his state of health.
Some of the early callers at the hospital where Enebeli is being treated is veteran actor, Olu Jacobs, who almost shed tears when he saw his friend and colleague on the hospital bed.
National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Segun Arinze, who had been mobilizing financial and moral support for the actor, said it was indeed a big sigh of relief when he realized that the ailing actor is recuperating.
“We thank God because he (Enebeli) is getting better. He can move his legs gradually now, so that is an improvement,†Arinze told NollywoodReel.
Arinze, who facilitated the financial and moral assistance Enebeli got from Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan and Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos added that he is hopeful a thanksgiving ceremony will be organised for the actor soon.
Governor Uduaghan donated the sum of N3 million to Enebeli, while Fashola sent a team of medical doctors take further care of his treatment.
Aside this, popular actor and serving commissioner in Delta State, Richard Mofe-Damijo, also gave the ailing actor N200,000.
